That’s exactly what the Cambrils: Catamaran Day Cruise with BBQ and Drinks offers. Whether you’re traveling solo, with friends, or family, this experience promises a blend of relaxation, good food, and fun in the sun.

What we really like about this cruise is the luxurious floating beach club vibe, complete with Bali-style daybeds and a friendly crew that makes everyone feel at home. Plus, the inclusion of a delicious BBQ lunch and a variety of drinks means you won’t need to worry about bringing your own snacks or beverages. That said, one thing to keep in mind is that the cruise lasts about 6 hours, so it’s best suited for those who enjoy spending a good chunk of time on the water.

The Itinerary and Stops

While the exact route can vary slightly, the focus remains on cruising along the coastline, taking in the views of the Mediterranean, and stopping at picturesque calas for swimming and snorkeling. Two main stops allow guests to jump into the warm, inviting waters or simply relax on deck with a drink nearby.

You’ll find the atmosphere quite relaxed, with plenty of space to stretch out, chat, or simply soak up the sun.

The Practical Side: What to Know Before You Go

Meeting points and timing

Starting location details depend on your booking, but the main options are close to popular parts of Cambrils. The activity lasts 6 hours, so plan your day accordingly. It’s worth noting that during peak summer months (July and August), taxis in Salou can be hard to come by, so booking transport in advance or using public transit is advisable. The bus from Salou to Cambrils is frequent and drops you just 300 meters from the boarding spot, making logistics easier.

Price and value

At around $74 per person, this cruise offers quite good value considering the included lunch, drinks, access to a luxury boat, and the overall experience. As one reviewer pointed out, the food was plentiful and tasty, and drinks flowed throughout the day. The small group size adds to the feeling of exclusivity and personalized service.

What’s included

• BBQ lunch
• Unlimited drinks (wines, cava, vermut, Aperol, etc.)
• Catamaran cruise
• Balinese beds for lounging
• Swimming and snorkeling stops

While the experience is largely positive, weather can be unpredictable. One reviewer mentioned rain dampening the day slightly—though they still enjoyed it—so check the forecast. Also, it’s not suitable for those with a cold or health issues, as being out at sea requires a certain level of comfort.

This cruise suits travelers looking for a laid-back, social experience with plenty of opportunities to swim, snorkel, and relax on a stylish boat.
